The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The "Access violation" error may occur when you use table buffering,
transactions, and large amounts of data on a computer system that has 16
megabytes of memory and that is running Windows NT version 3.51. The error does
not occur on sytems running Windows NT with 24 or 32 megabytes of RAM.
WORKAROUND
==========
Use TABLEUPDATE() with smaller data sets. The Sample Code listed in this article
fails when updating 4000 records at one time. However, reducing the number to
2000 cures the problem.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0b
for Windows.
